We used to accept it as a part of owning a dog. Every couple of years the dog would be anesthetized for a teeth cleaning procedure. No more. We brush our dogs' teeth every week (should be more often, but...) without a fuss. You can teach your dog to participate in their care behaviors. Here's how: https://2-minute-trainer.com/2023/10/20/dog-care-behavior/

Did you have to go back to work or school last week? Was your dog pitiful, howling for you? Or did they race for their crate and peanut butter kong toy, saying, "Bye! Go already, let me get my nap!" Of course we all want the latter - a calm, happy dog taking a nap while we're away. It is possible to achieve that with some training. Download the 2-Minute Trainer Guide and let your dog get the rest they deserve. https://2-minute-trainer.com/overcoming-separation-anxiety/

There's no snow on the path now, but there could be. And the last thing you want is for your dog to be a musher when you're not prepared. You don't want your dog to pull you off your feet! Or dislocate your shoulder (trust me). Now is the time to download that Loose Leash Walking Guide and start those games. https://2-minute-trainer.com/loose-leash-walking/

Most dogs love to jump on people. People usually don't like that. So, here's how to teach your dog to keep "4 On The Floor!." This is Simon practicing his good manners. https://2-minute-trainer.com/2026/01/09/4-on-the-floor/

Why is Torque holding a spatula and standing on a green mat? Hope was experimenting and putting together a variety of behaviors. Just because it's fun. But that's the beauty of the 2-Minute Training method. We teach behaviors in the smallest increments so that we can put together parts of the behaviors together in different ways. It keeps the training interesting and fun for both us and our dogs! Try it - you may invent a new game! https://2-minute-trainer.com/2024/04/19/mix-and-match-your-dog-training/

We think we know our dogs. And we think we have a pretty good idea of what they will or won't do. But the worst thing you can do is to limit your dog. My dogs surprise me every day. Read more: https://2-minute-trainer.com/2025/05/09/my-dog-wont/

Torque intimidates people and dogs when he enters a room. I don't know why - he's the cutest thing. But everyone loves it when he comes in and is holding his pink toy. Teach your dog to Hold It! https://2-minute-trainer.com/2025/05/16/hold-it/

Here's a fun game to play with your dog: Vito's Game! All you need is your dog, a wastebasket, a couple of bowls, and some treats. Booker is the star of this game. He took to it right away. The best part: your dog has to think and after just a couple of minutes of play, they'll take a good nap! Here's how to play: https://2-minute-trainer.com/2025/05/23/movement-puzzle/

This week's 2-Minute Tip is for your mental health. Once you start playing 2-Minute Training Games with your dog, you won't be able to stop. And you won't want to. Your relationship with your dog will be different and you'll see other dogs differently, too. Amazing that just 2 minutes a day can change your life. https://2-minute-trainer.com/2026/01/02/2-minute-training-will-change-your-life/

Happy New Year! Here's a reminder to have fun with your dog! It doesn't matter what you do, they'll love spending time with you. And remember to reward the good stuff. We have containers of our trail mix treats (usually kibble and cheerios) in just about every room of the house - even my bedroom! So that when Simon does something amazing, he knows it! Do you think that face deserves a reward? Me too. https://2-minute-trainer.com/2025/02/14/stop-rewarding-the-dog/
